Pet care experience

My care for your family pets

Having a pet of my own with diabetes set me on a path to learn more and start a career toward helping animals that may need more care than others. I am a helper by trade and love spending time with pets so I hope I can apply my years of dedication and adoration for animals by helping take care of yours when you need assistance.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My cats are indoor/outdoor so they roam but stay close to the property. I do not leave them out alone. Inside we play a bit until they get bored, listen to music, and of course they nap...mostly they nap... When I have had dogs in the past, they get outside time to enjoy the sunshine and breeze and we're never left out in bad weather conditions. They've always had a safe and comfortable place inside the home.

Stephen has been a welcome addition to our “pet family”. He is caring and responsible with our dogs. He is good at communicating daily, including photos. Bonus, he walks our two big dogs daily/weekly! Bottom line, he is honest, attentive to our dogs and reliable.

Stephen was great! I felt safe right away letting him take my puppy for the first time. You can tell the people who can connect with pets and Stephen not only bonded with her quickly but seems very knowledgeable about pet care in general so was able to ask a few questions about Mara as well. So glad we found someone, I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area!

I would trust Steve with any animal. He's one of the kind empathetic humans. He has multiple pets of his own that are very well taken care of. I believe that he would represent your company with class, and in a professional manor. He'd be a great fit for your company.

Caring for pets is a very special job and Steve's ability to relate to them is very unique. He truly talks to them and carries on conversations with them. They in turn react to him in a special way and Love following him around. His kindness is limitless. He is a caring pet person!

Schedule

I work as a general handyman and take classes toward veterinary technician and enjoy to help others with my spare time. Walking dogs is a passion of mine and, depending on the owner's request, can keep it local or take them to a desired park or hiking path. I walk daily on my own so a few extra paws would be good for me and the pooch! I can also help with in-house visits to let your pups out and check their food and water if needed.

If your pup has any special needs or requires medical (oral or injected), or anything else, I hope we can schedule a meet and greet so that they get the best care possible from me. I'll make sure they stay on the regiment as best as possible.
